Partners plan to jointly realize onshore wind projects in Europe / ENERCON will supply and construct the wind turbines and also take care of servicing
Onshore windturbine manufacturer ENERCON and RWE, one of the world's leading renewable energy companies, have agreed on a long-term partnership to jointly realize onshore wind projects in Europe. The companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Wind Europe conference to define the terms of their cooperation.
The multi-year agreement covers collaboration on projects in most of RWE coremarkets in Europe. ENERCON will be responsible for the supply, installation andservicing of the wind turbines in line with the principles of RWE ’s strategy of self-performance.
Katja Wünschel, CEO RWE Renewables Europe &Australia:
'Onshore windpower is a cost-effective way to expand renewable energy. We only implement projects that meet our high return requirements supported by state-of-the-art technology. This is where our partnership with ENERCON comes into play. The aimis to secure supply for a part of our project portfolio on known terms, thereby ensuring the reliable delivery of our growth program and planning certainty forour supply chain partner beyond project-by-project transactions. The MoU is a perfect fit with our existing contractual landscape and will strengthen and diversify our European supply chain further. I am very much looking forward to the projects we will jointly implement across Europe.'
